We all know how much Zion has been struggling through this injury. What have you two been telling him throughout this process? Jaxson Hayes: It’s crazy, because everyone’s been trying to fry him. I know he’s trying to ignore all that stuff and do what he has to do. When we’re sitting at the game, people are yelling stuff at him. I just tell him, “Bro, they’re just mad because they’re not in your shoes.” That’s all you can tell him. We all know how much he wants to play. He’s doing all he can to get back right. But there’s nothing we can do until he’s healthy. We just have to be there to support him.

I spoke with Jaxson Hayes about his rocky 3rd season, playing in the G League and hearing his name in trade rumors.
“I love it here. This has been my home for three years. I’d much rather it happen here than anywhere else.”

Remember two seasons ago when the Pelicans started 6-22 then they got hot and Zion came back and they went on a tear and then almost (should’ve) made the playoffs? I’m getting similar vibes – 10:41 PM

Re: Zion: Biologic injections are commonly used, particularly when healing is slow. Types of biologics include platelet rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate, and viscosupplementation (Synvisc) injections. – 6:49 PM

Zion Williamson had an injection to promote healing in his right foot Wednesday. He will be limited to low-impact activities for an “extended period.”
“It’s just been frustrating for everyone,” Willie Green said.

The latest Zion update — that he won’t receive further imaging for 4-6 weeks — means he will miss more than half of the regular season at minimum.
4 weeks from now, Pels will have played 43 games.
6 weeks from now, they will have played 48 games. – 3:30 PM

Does he get a max contract extension this offseason? He’s eligible.

The New Orleans Pelicans may need an Excedrin with how many headaches they have been getting from Zion Williamson lately. Pelicans beat writer Jake Madison made troubling revelations this week about Williamson’s work ethic. He said in a tweet that Williamson has skipped workouts in his rehab. Madison also said that the former No. 1 overall pick fell asleep during a recent team film session. -via Larry Brown Sports / December 13, 2021
